Majestic swim with the turtles - Beautiful experience snorkeling with turtles. Tony and Abe were very hospitable and able to give you more attention . I loved the early departure you get ahead of the crowds . We saw beautiful turtles 🐢 . Abe made sure we stayed together and was so good at locating them and guiding us in the right direction. You must be able to swim for this adventure. But rest assured they do provide flotation devices. It was one of my favorite adventures on the island .

This is a must do activity in Oahu - Tony and Abe were amazing! I went with my parents who had limited experience with snorkeling and being on the boat and both guys were wonderful and helpful. We saw twenty dolphins, soooo many turtles and lots of fish. Definitely worth to get out there earlier before the crowd of other boats get there.

Highlight of our Families Recent Vacation in Oahu - What a HIGHLIGHT of my Families recent Trip to Oahu. Capt. Tony provided a Beautiful , Safe and Upclose Adventure with Sea Turtles. He was assisted with a Crew Member who guided us in the water to provide support and information about the Turtles and the abundance e of Fish in the area just a short distance from the Marina. 10 Thumbs up for Waikiki Sailing Adventures...We'll be Back...

Amazing small group snorkel experience! - Captain Tony is such a funny guy! Me and my boyfriend booked the 7am snorkel trip to see the turtles and had such an amazing time! Tony is so knowledgeable about sea life and Hawaii in general. He specifically books the 7am trip so we can be the first boat out! He also had a tour guide with him that told us about all of the different fish, turtles, and other sea life! It was such an amazing trip, well worth the money. I loved how intimate it was (only 6 people), and it was on his personal sailboat. Would do this trip every morning if I could 😁🤩 Oh and after the trip he airdropped us a whole list of other sights to see across the island! Very nice guy!

Perfect Hawaiian Morning Activity - The perfect way to start out our day! It was a quick boat ride to see so many sea turtles and tropical fish. The guides were very knowledgeable and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone, especially if you’re already up early with the time change.

Excellent tour, absolutely recommend it. - If you’re not into crowds this is the boat to be on. With six people max and an early morning start you get some quality time in the water with calm turtles. Your guide in the water explains the area, turtle behavior and the environment you’re snorkeling while making sure everyone is safe.

Sometimes smaller is better 😏 - Captain Tony and Abe were amazing!!! I highly highly highly recommend booking this tour. We set sail just before 7am and we were just with another couple. Captain Tony told us stories and by 710am we were moored and him and Abe got us set up with fins and snorkel gear and then we were in the water. Abe was extremely patiently with everyone and showed us around the Turtle Cove for about an hour and a half. We they hung out we saw so many turtle and fishes. He taught us about the marine life, made sure we’re all safe and together in the water. He even pulled a sea urchin for us to hold. By the time we left the other tours were coming in and oh boy I’m glad we went early bc we had the cove to ourselves. Captain Tony mentioned that the turtles react different to a small group vs boats filled with 30-40 people times multiple boats. BOOK THIS SMALL TOUR NOW!
